AMD's Kaveri overflow Intel's APUs
In the battle of application processor units (APU) where handling graphics stream data is becoming important, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) launches quite an impressive APU (basically multicore x86 processor with the graphic processors) named Kaveri, (named after south India's river), which looks to overflow in performance over the Intel's application processor family of same price-range in the gaming desktop market. The graphic rich gaming software running on PCs requires better graphics processing performance than the traditional data processing. When this AMD's Kaveri is compared to any near priced application processor units from Intel, most of the reports claim Kaveri outperforming Intel's APU chips.
AMD's Kaveri integrates 2.4 billion transistors, quite a high compared to most of the Intel's Haswell based application processors where the average count is 1.4 billion transistors.
If you look at the importance of graphic processing, the amount of graphics and multimedia data is growing in multiple dimensions. AMD has edge over Intel in delivering processor with high-performance graphic capability.
AMD is serving graphic intensive gaming world at the begin of this year 2014 with this Kaveri A-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), with AMD Radeon R7 graphics to offer impressive graphic performance.
Kaveri A-Series has 4 CPU and 8 GPU with Heterogeneous...
